And even now, like, okay, you get this one from school, I'll get that one from volleyball practice. And the division of labor and the organizing, I think it's awesome. It's a well-oiled machine. I love partnership. I love partnership and division of labor. I just think it's the best thing in the world. So you may have a family in the future or you're open to it?

I mean, you know, whether it's family or friends, we're like family. You know, I think that we have to perform for society. You have to act a certain way. There's levels of decorum. Manners, values, morals, ethics. And there's much said that you get to be yourself where, no, you don't. You have to, you're not, you shouldn't be not yourself. You should always be you, for sure.

But you smooth the edges. Like you and I, like I curse like a sailor when I'm not on camera. Sure. I'm on camera. Yeah, yeah. I'm... I'm toned down a bit. Right? You're you, but less. I'm still me. I'm still this, like you hang out with me privately. This is what you're going to get. Yeah, with some applause. A little more cursing, you know? You know, a little more irreverence, you know? Sure.

I'm still me, but you smooth the edges depending on like how you are with your friends is very different than how you are in an interview. how you are on a first date is very different than how you are on a 10th date, right? And it's still all you, but you have to change for the situation. We have no choice, it's how society functions.

If we all just want to be our quote unquote true selves all the time, Society would break. It would be chaos. So the idea of bending and molding to fit the situation, you have to be a little different at work than you are with your friends. The jokes you make with your friends, you can't make at work. You're not allowed, right? You get fired, baby. You might get fired, yeah. Yeah.

And so, or you'll upset somebody. Well, you're not upsetting your friends, right? And so you have to do that. And so the value of family and more important than the value of friends is that's the one place, those intimate settings, where you can let it all go. Right. And hopefully be accepted.

You can be weird and you can be irreverent and you can be rude and you can say nonsense and you can let all your insecurities out on the table as opposed to hiding them every day, which is what we're all very good at hiding our insecurities on a daily basis. Like on a first date, don't put all your insecurities on the table. Not good first date etiquette. Sure. You know?

By your 10th date, yeah, start to search on vulnerability, you know? But with your friends, it's all out on the table. And that's why friends are important. Because if you're playing by society's rules, if you're hedging yourself to conf... What will people think? They're thinking nothing. You're by yourself with your friends. What will people think of me? They'll think nothing.

They're not thinking of you. And that's why friends are important. Because you have to have the release of being your fully exposed true self with all of the weirdness and warts just out on display and you don't feel judged and you feel safe and you feel loved. And that's why friends are important. Because if you're pretending, not pretending, that's the wrong word.

If you're hedging and smoothing for society and you're hedging and smoothing in private, you're gonna feel lonely and you're gonna feel uncomfortable. If you're fully open nut job self with your friends and then you're fully nut job self out in public, people are gonna be like, no. Chill out, yeah, yeah, chill out. And I've seen it.
